Inventory Analyst (Virtual Assistant)

COMPANY 🌱

RYZE was founded in 2019 by Andrée Werner and Rashad Hossain, out of a parents' basement, with a mission to change daily health, starting with the morning routine: a nutrient-dense mushroom coffee delivering clean energy, mental clarity, and immune support. Built on a Direct-to-Consumer foundation with a performance marketing engine, RYZE achieved hockey-stick growth and a community of over 1 million active subscribers.

DTC remains the foundation, but RYZE has expanded into mass retail, quickly becoming the #2 items in Target's overall coffee category and is now executing a multi-channel expansion, with a cross-category launch coming in early 2027. RYZE is uniquely positioned to redefine how people think about daily wellness.

We’re a lean, fast-moving, mission-driven team who believe daily rituals create the foundation for living your greatest life, and we’re just getting started!

ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES OVERVIEW:

We are adding an Inventory Analyst to our remote operations team to keep pace with growing transaction volume across our co-manufacturing partners and warehouse locations. This role works alongside our existing inventory team members, sharing the same core scope while taking ownership of additional locations and partners. The work is a mix of hands-on transaction execution in NetSuite and the analysis that sits on top of it: reconciling what our system says against what our co-manufacturers report, finding the root cause when the
two disagree, and keeping inventory data clean enough for accounting to close the month on it.

WHAT YOU'LL DO 🎯

Responsibilities will include

Partner Reporting & Reconciliation:

• Reconcile inventory balances in NetSuite against third-party reporting from our co-manufacturers, ensuringdata consistency across all locations.
• Review co-manufacturer production and consumption reports for completeness and accuracy beforeposting.
• Work directly with co-manufacturer contacts to research and resolve discrepancies, short receipts, and unreported movements.
• Track inbound shipments through receipt, escalating delays, quantity variances, and damages.
• Investigate and document root causes of partner-level variances, and follow through on corrective actions.

Transaction Execution in NetSuite:

• Execute and audit assembly builds for manufacturing, kitting, and finished goods.
• Process and validate inventory adjustments tied to production, kitting, rework, and corrections.
• Enter and verify item receipts, transfers, and returns for co-manufacturer and warehouse locations.
• Validate Bills of Materials (BOMs) used in production and kitting assemblies.
• Ensure transactions post accurately by SKU, quantity, location, and date, and align with physicalmovements and partner reporting.

Analysis, reporting & Month-End Close

• Build and maintain recurring inventory reports — on-hand positions, variance summaries, aging, and discrepancy logs.
• Identify discrepancies between expected and actual material usage, and quantify the impact.
• Perform data validation to surface posting errors, duplicate transactions, and missing entries.
• Analyze trends in recurring discrepancies and recommend process or system fixes.
• Assist with end-of-month inventory close and reconciliations across all locations and partners.
• Provide transaction-level support, documentation, and written variance explanations for accounting and audits.
• Maintain SOPs for the tasks you own, and other related tasks that may be assigned from time to time.
